A shaving assembly comprising:
- a blade unit including an elastomeric guard;
- a handle interface element configured to connect the blade unit to a handle, the blade unit being pivotably mounted on the handle interface element;
- and
- an elastomeric element disposed between the blade unit and the handle interface element;
- wherein the handle interface element includes a pair of fingers extending in opposite directions, and the elastomeric element comprises a pair of loops that are formed integrally with the guard and are configured to receive the fingers.
A shaving system comprising:
- a handle having a distal end and a proximal end;
- and
- a shaving assembly that includes a blade unit including an elastomeric guard, a handle interface element, the blade unit being pivotably mounted on the handle interface element, and an elastomeric element disposed between the blade unit and the handle interface element;
- wherein the handle interface element includes a pair of fingers extending in opposite directions, and the elastomeric element comprises a pair of loops that are formed integrally with the guard and are configured to receive the fingers.
A method of shaving comprising contacting the skin with the blade unit of a shaving system comprising a handle having a distal end and a proximal end, and a shaving assembly that includes:
- a blade unit including an elastomeric guard;
- an interface element configured to connect the blade unit to a handle, the blade unit being pivotably mounted on the handle interface element;
- and
